Description

IFRS 9 and CECL Credit Risk Modelling and Validation covers a hot topic in risk management. Both IFRS 9 and CECL accounting standards require Banks to adopt a new perspective in assessing Expected Credit Losses. The book explores a wide range of models and corresponding validation procedures. The most traditional regression analyses pave the way to more innovative methods like machine learning, survival analysis, and competing risk modelling. Special attention is then devoted to scarce data and low default portfolios. A practical approach inspires the learning journey. In each section the theoretical dissertation is accompanied by Examples and Case Studies worked in R and SAS, the most widely used software packages used by practitioners in Credit Risk Management.

Key Features

  • Offers a broad survey that explains which models work best for mortgage, small business, cards, commercial real estate, commercial loans and other credit products
  • Concentrates on specific aspects of the modelling process by focusing on lifetime estimates
  • Provides an hands-on approach to enable readers to perform model development, validation and audit of credit risk models

Readership

Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals working in economic modelling and statistics.

    Ifrs 9 and cecl credit risk modelling and validation

    Perfect for risk amateurs

  • Matej Thu Feb 28 2019

    Overall great, but not without some shortcomings

    As the majority of banks use standardized approach, I would love to have some more discussion about the comparison of parameter calculation across approaches, e.g. of EAD. You can't know how EAD is calculated under the standardized approach from this book, also CCF table could be provided and an example shown. Same goes for a LGD calculation and haircuts. Sure, professionals will know, but students without experience won't. Furthermore, author doesn't provide a comprehensive calculation example of ECL across multiple years, where marginal PDs, lifetime PD, and marginal ECLs would be shown, because there are always some simplifications. So a little more discussions about a PD term structure, how it is affected by economic cycle, as well as providing examples of bad practices would be of added value: for example a few pages on when probability-weighted economic scenarios is not unbiased.

    The book we need

    Would be even better if it would be in Python, as industry is switching to it.

    Great Initiative. I would love to have this book.
